Jelep La[a] (Tibetan: རྫི་ལི་ལ, Wylie: rdzi li la, THL: dzi li la; Chinese: 则里拉山口; pinyin: Zé lǐlā shānkǒu)[6] elevation 14,390 feet (4,390 m),[1] is a high mountain pass between Sikkim, India and Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is on a route that connects Lhasa to India. The pass is about 4 km (2.5 mi) south of Nathu La and is slightly higher. It was frequently used for trade between Tibet and India during the British Raj, with Kalimpong serving as the contact point. The Menmecho Lake lies below the Jelep La.
